Welcome back. You missed so much content.

Eating dumpster boogers normalizes the idea that boogers are objects for our consumption. I prefer to treat them as inedible and do not consume boogers under any circumstances. However I do not talk down to others who are in circumstances that maybe require them to partake in dumpster boogers out of necessity.

We must also consider that boogers freely given in a capitalist context may not be consensual in the strictest sense. Meaning if there is a profit motive or power dynamics issue at play, consensual boogers may turn into coercive boogers.

This makes it complicated if you are, for example, purchasing boogers or acquiring said boogers from someone who is in a relatively submissive position to you within different hierarchies.

Please do not assume it is okay to offer money to someone for boogers or ask your work subordinates if it is okay to consume their boogers.

Do you disagree?

Hey me too! Nobody will ever believe you even if you tell.

Its not necesssarily cringe, but I started the "I never asked for this" meme from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Nobody will believe me, but I was on 4chan playing the leaked(?) demo build of the game and recorded that section. It lead to dozens of spinoffs in the thread of people posting funny stuff and posting the clip. The most watched youtube video of it took my clip with the same timeframe, same artifacting, and same motion at the very end and just reuploaded it under a better title then got 800k views or whatever it has now. But I know.

No. I just think its a little gross to end on it because the cliffhanger is basically CW:

Or rather, how does she escape? Since obviously thats not gonna actually happen.

to whoever decided to end on that scene. If you're going to have shit like that, you can't leave it hanging for 7 months only to begin the next episode on it again.

I'd like to know this too because it does seem in many cases to mirror other forms of radicalization by domestic terrorists, militias, religious groups, etc. By that I mean it can't be fixed by regular means but requires specific and directed intervention on a societal scale. Not that that's something that would ever happen in the US.

Debating libs was funny because they usually didn't understand they were talking to multiple people and one of them got mad that Bureaucrat replied to EVERY comment they made in a thread. Once they started debating mods about meta shit and bans, it was over.

My partner recently watched the movies and is reading the books for the first time. They're still hesitant to admit they like them because of the stigma. We've both watched worse slop on YouTube and I'm not allowed to make fun considering I'm out here reading stuff like Rage of Achilles to get my romance fix.

Or Bluefin/Aurora for the non-gamers. Least friction 'distro' there is.

Are they or are they not made with whey?

The answer is yes

True but it was extra egregious because it was a govt sponsored event. I locked eyes with someone else across the table who was also weirded out by it lol.

Want about my living situation:

Moving to a conservative area has cemented every stereotype I had about conservative people. Thought I could tolerate it for work reasons, but nah.

Polite on the outside, extremely racist if they think they're in similar company. All the men have toxic masculinity and aggression problems, talking about how people working in cubicles are "pu**ies". They don't take the opinion of women seriously unless backed up by a man or they're proven wrong in that moment. Animals are objects, "dog lovers" love them only as tools for hunting.

The only vegan person I've met is a big strong guy who hides it so he doesn't get shit from the other big strong guys. I haven't heard them talk about gay or trans people yet, but I'm sure its coming.

Any talk of 'compromise' with these people is poison. If someone has one character flaw, maybe you can fix it, but how do you fix 8 of them combined into a soup? I know we aren't supposed to advocate terrible things happening to the average person necessarily, but its really hard to argue that things wouldn't be better for everyone else if they disappeared tomorrow.

Edit: oh yeah there's also the thin blue line flag everywhere, including inside a stste government office, and a fucking prayer led before a meal at a federal government event.

Tried to play the new Dragon Age game. CPU immediately goes to like 85C. Had to close game before my computer took off through my roof or set itself on fire. I ran Baldur's Gate 3 and other relatively new games just fine. I wish I liked indie games more because this shit is so stupid.

jk I was able to limit the FPS to 60 with MangoHud and now the game isn't bullshit. It's 2024 and games still don't have FPS limiters in their settings.

Me noticing posting patterns that make me think someone was part of the Bureaucracy

Yes please.

Okay Marky Mark.

Fair. If you kick him out, you

I just got a new ereader and its already helped immensely. Much nicer than a phone but I also won't need to find space for anything physical. Highly recommend.
